This is true. I think anytime that is still in dreamland and wants to try to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals and is missing a big physical defensemen would give up a touch more with delusions that they are still in that window.

Meh. I like Buffalo's prospect pool more than Columbus. Which says a lot IMO. If you did make a deal it'd have to be #5, 2022 1st, Texier, Chinakhov. Their stock pile is absolute rubbish.

Just move him out west and be done with it.

He's not a central piece I'd be looking for. I don't think he's an acceptable piece in any Eichel trade. This team isn't going to solve answers in the short term. I'd take Rossi+Boldy over any worthless offer the Rangers send out. I don't consider for one semblance of a second believe we're a playoff team in the next three years. You want to move Reinhart for Buchnevich, perhaps.

I agree with you, here. +1 to that account.

Good luck Will to try to crack that mix. I have a feeling his stay could be short lived. Either they won't offer him and he'll go to UFA, or they'll waive him and hopefully we can reclaim him. He's someone I'd be comfortable with on a bottom pair if we're going for a slow play in rebuilding this team.

1: Eklund 2: Beniers 3: Power 4: Hughes 5: McTavish 6: Guenther 7: Clarke 8: Edvinsson 9: Johnson 10: Svechkov

The Rangers can kick rocks. No thanks. Aside from #2 and Lundqvist, I don't want anything else in this deal. I don't want to acquire pieces like Buchnevich, who is basically a flip piece, McCann is a fine add. Chytil is drastically overrated, I'd definitely want a more premium piece. To me, the Rangers are down towards the bottom of the list. Their fans are obnoxious, and their front office is only wanting Eichel on the cheap. I'm also not dealing picks of any type.

Kaden Guhle, and a 2nd, does it for me. If you can get more, be my guest.

If we can get both, move Eichel tomorrow.

At this point, I just want to see updates on movement. Speculation at this point is so mind numbingly insufferable.

Good the Rags, have 96.5213% of their roster as untouchable anyways.

Quoting Eklund as a source, is as accurate as tossing a lawn dart into the air and hitting ground. He tosses it up and if it lands on the ground, that means it's happening according to that goof.

Eichel Olofsson Reinhart Mittelstadt Asplund Thompson (I honestly could care less here) Bjork (I honestly could care less here) Dahlin Jokiharju Borgen Houser I'm leaving Ristolainen exposed, with the intent purpose of moving on. I don't think Rasmus is a terrible player, but at this point, just move on. I DO NOT want to start next season with him on the roster. This team needs to be gutted.

As usual Buffalo stuck with their hand in the jar. God we're ***** hopeless.

I really would have liked to go after Vanacek.

Barf. I'm not trading Eichel and Reinhart for that. Sorry, Elias Lindholm and Tkachuck do not equal Eichel and Reinhart.

5 Takes: This team is better without Eichel than with William Eklund will be the #1 overall pick Jack Eichel will be traded to Minnesota for a package starting with Boldy Rasmus Ristolainen, has played his last game for the Sabres Dahlin will lead the team in points in 2021-22. I am not a Tage Thompson fan, so I'd take the first 2nd round pick to get him out of here.

I want Ristolainen gone first. Get a 2nd if possible and move him. Just get him out the door.

If one year of Jones includes that, then I want Dach #12, Boqvist and Reichel.

I'd rank UPL above Dubnyk, he has been terrible for two years. Freddie is the top of the available list there. Rask has already said, I will play in Boston, or retire and go back to Finland.

I just really hope we don't lose Asplund.

Not sure that I see UPL up until at the earliest the second half. I think it's much more likely it's a tier 3 goalie and Houser or Tokarski. Unless for some ungodly reason we trade for a "Gibson, Merzlikins, Korpisalo" type.

It is a tad uninspired. I liked the old system better.

Cough, take Eklund, then trade up for Clarke, Edvinsson or Hughes.
